The lovely recommendation from Reginald

Literate, historical and excruciatingly relevant to these current times. I am now a Mary W Craig fan! See it before she's done

Scots speakers, I need your help! I wrote a book about a black cat, in Scots, for children. It’s charming, teaches wee people about grief, and it is the perfect supernatural story for October. All likes, shares and purchases would be much appreciated. amzn.eu/d/7vl9CPw

It broke my heart to see this article calling for help to make a Scots AI. The leid is already vulnerable. The rise of AI is an abomination. People can think and create without it. English literacy is already dropping because of AI. Don’t let it happen to Scots too.

I had a great morning this morning with Mrs Leckie and P3,4,5 from @StowPrimary School talking about Vikings, trying out Viking courts and finishing with a Viking funeral. What a great bunch of children with lots of interesting questions.

🐾✨ We are having a bit of fun here at Luath Press by showcasing our beloved wee moggies. Meet Ziggy (as in Mr. Starrdust himself). Ziggy is a moggie who meows too much. Often found yelling at all hours of the day and munching on books (much to his owner's dismay). #OorMoggies
